xp: refusing breast milk bottles

I haven't had time to post here lately but I've been around. If you'd like another intro I'm happy to :-)
I copied this from my BMB board. My daughter is 13 months.

Is anyone else having issues with their baby drinking milk? Alivia is still nursing and when I home, which I work from home 90% of the time, she nurses just fine. There are times where she'll nurse for 1 min then come back 5 mins later doing the milk sign and then she'll eat but lately my MIL and husband aren't able to get her to drink a bottle of milk. They have tried cold and warm, bottle or cup with straw (she's never had a sippy) even I tried last night bc I didn't want the milk to go bad and nothing.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

    I am by no means an expert, especially with a 13 month old.

    Are they offering the breast milk and then waiting a time (like 15 minutes) before offering again? I use the "hour" rule (good for an hour after it touches her lips). Could you use the breastmilk in solids for her? Fruit smoothies?
